W: Old empire regiment Armour Plates?

Hi guys!

I've been working on my Restless Dead warband lately, and was thinking about giving them a Cathayan theme. I'm looking for the following bit, I've seen it on one of Cianty's Cathayans before, at first I thought it was part of an existing mini. But then I saw it on one of Cavonius' miniatures as well, and got curious what bit it was.
I was about to ask Cianty or Cavonius what bit it was, but then Agger already asked it in Cavonius' terrain thread.

So, to finally get to the point of this thread; I'm looking for some! I'm not really sure what old Empire Regiment bits they're from. So does anyone have them, or know where to get them?

So here's a reference picture to show you guys what bit I'm talking about..



Cheers!

Well, it came in the old multipart Empire plastic sets (swordsmen/halberdiers, also with the handgunners and crossbowmen as they used the same basic model just with metal arms).

Afraid I don't have any though but I do see sets of them appear on Ebay every now and again.

I checked in the Vault of Pack Rattiness, AND, LO, I have 16 of the little buggers. They're yours if you'd like them.

Thanks a lot for the replies, guys!

@ catferret; Thanks for the explanation, so they're the ones before the current ones, or even before that?

@ Deaf; Thanks a lot Al, I've PM'd you!


Cheers!

16?

Deaf......I would love to scrounge in your bits!

That may have sounded a bit dirty to the ones of this forum who have a
naughty mindset.....

We'll have to set the Blessed Knights Templar of Holy Sigmar on those of Vile Thoughts...Foul Heretics All!
I have a tendency not to throw away ANYTHING, knowing in my heart that SOMEDAY I'd NEED ALL of it. Well...I have MORE stuff than I have "somedays" or places to store it, SO you'd be most welcome to a scrounge.

If those from Deaf are not sufficient, I think I have more of those bitz than him (I'm in love with the v6 empire sprue)
